FutureSearch, AI forecasting you can verify

*Title:* Show HN: FutureSearch, AI forecasting you can verify AI forecasting is now approximately superhuman. Today, FutureSearch is exiting our long public beta and launching. We started FutureSearch in August 2023. (We’re the original AI forecasting company, at least in a Tetlock-ian, “forecast anything” sense.) We’re currently #1 of 194 in the most competitive AI forecasting tournament [1], and we score above the #3 and #2 human forecasters in the premier mixed human-bot tournaments [2]. Many people on HN seem to equate forecasting with prediction markets and finance. FutureSearch is not…

In plain words

FutureSearch is an AI forecasting platform that generates predictions on topics including scientific progress, geopolitics, and future trends. The service uses artificial intelligence to make forecasts across any domain, with results that can be verified and evaluated. It is designed for researchers, analysts, and anyone seeking accurate predictions about future events, distinct from financial prediction markets. The platform launched in 2026 after an extended beta period.

AI forecasting with a public track record. First in Metaculus's Summer 2026 FutureEval tournament, above the superforecaster median on ForecastBench, and every forecast draws on a shared world model that compounds with use. Research trusted by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI.

    Ask LLMs to predict anything based on news2024 · aipredict.fun · ▲25

    Hi HN! We partnered with the Atlas team to build a tool called AI Predict [0] that allows anyone to ask any question about the future and get a thoroughly researched, AI-generated prediction on how likely it is to be true. How it works: Atlas replicated a Berkeley paper [1] that showed LLMs could make predictions as accurate as the crowd. We’re using a mix of models from OpenAI and Anthropic, with information retrieval powered by NewsCatcher [2]. The system is live and fully functional, though it might struggle with hyper-local questions outside of the public domain (e.g., “Will I have…

    FutureSearch – answer hard questions like "Who will buy TikTok US?"2024 · ▲22

    Now that the TikTok ban is on its way to Biden’s desk, you may ask: “Will ByteDance get this overturned in court?” “How much is TikTok US worth?” “Will Oracle and Walmart bid again?” Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc. have almost nothing to say on questions like these that involve judgment, uncertainty, modeling, and in-depth research. (Try it for yourself.) FutureSearch draws on the fact that professional forecasters do surprisingly well on such questions. We’ve worked with many of them over the years, and we’ve built their research workflows with LLMs and agent loops. Here's what…

    Hey HN, I’m Dan. I’ve been working on forecasting for the last six years at Google, then Metaculus, and now at FutureSearch. For a long time, I thought prediction markets, “superforecasting”, and AI forecasting techniques had nothing to say about the stock market. Stock prices already reflect the collective wisdom of investors. The stock market is basically a prediction market already. Recently, though, AI forecasting has gotten competitive with human forecasters. And we’ve found a way of modeling long-term company outcomes that is amenable to our forecasting approach. Iteration by…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
